Hi Jack, The Acer announcement really suprised me when it came out and it caused me to by more Iomega stock (which I later regretted!) I truly don't know how they are going to make money on that thing. I started adding up the factory costs... then boom I lose it. To tell the truth, I have no response to that. My only guess (and it firms up several other counter-points given by you, Ken and Trakker) is that they are eating the additional factory cost, in hopes they will sell more devices given the 'ZIP' name. Also, maybe it will be 'standard' equipment required for net boxes? who knows. What I do know is that if I was on the design team, I would have put a floppy in and let the customer buy the ZIP as an add-on if he/she wanted! That decision would have netted the company over 11 billion bucks (assuming 200 million sold lifetime). Not bad for a days work! Anyway, good points guys kp
